CSA stands for Community-supported agriculture. A CSA consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation where the growers and consumers share the risks and benefits of food production. CSAs usually consist of a system of weekly delivery or pick-up of vegetables and fruit in a vegetable box, sometimes including dairy products, meat, or eggs. To find a CSA in your area go to www.localharvest.org/csa/.
If you have any questions please e-mail me at csagirlcal@gmail.com. I would be happy to help you find a CSA or answer questions you have about joining one.
I left my job a few years ago and discovered that I loved to cook. Like many other foodies, I found that the best meals are made from fresh local produce. So, last year I joined the CSA at Blue House Farm in Pescadero. This year I decided to share with my fellow locavores what I make with the produce in my CSA box each week. I plan on posting two recipes a week. If you have any ideas for recipes or comments please e-mail me at csagirlcal@gmail.com.
